The amount of money that organizations and consumers have spent in securing their computer data and company networks is overwhelming. Everyone can protect himself or herself by making sure they have a security plan in place by equipping the computers with the necessary defense mechanisms. Social Engineering Awareness: One of the major elements of a security plan is to increase the knowledge of the common user and to make sure they are aware of the risks and how to take precautions.

Making passwords of no less than eight characters long and they must contain a capital letter, a number, and a special character. These passwords will be set to renew anywhere from 30 – 90 days. The most common setting for this feature is 90 days. A notification will sent to the user 14 days prior to the password’s expiration and prompt the user to change their password. Thirdly, special access tokens will be used to insure the identity of the user. A smart card will be in place. This smart card slips into a slot and read a magnetic strip, a microchip that is imbedded into the card, or a by a bar code on the back of the card. Using the bar code will be the less expensive route to take. The CEO, CIO and the ISSO will choose user accounts.

...User Profiling based Adaptive Test Generation Assessment in E – Learning System Manan Jadhav Department of Computer Technology, VJTI Mumbai, India manan.jadhav@gmail.com Shagufta Rizwan Department of Master of Computer Application, VJTI Mumbai, India shaguftarjpt673@gmail.com Aditi Nehete Department of Computer Technology, VJTI Mumbai, India aditinehete@gmail.com Abstract — In this paper, we describe a User profiling based ELearning System with Adaptive Test Generation and Assessment. This system uses rule-based Intelligence Technique and implicit User Profiling to judge the proficiency level of the student and generates tests for them accordingly. More specifically it’s a Test Generation, Assessment and Remedial System where the student can give a test after he has completed studying a particular concept where the difficulty level of the test will be decided by the expert system engine. After the completion of the test, the system helps the student in improving the proficiency of the concept either if it is expected by the concept or if he faces difficulty in understanding the concept. Based on the type of errors made in the test, the Test Remedial System will help the student to improve in that domain of understanding of the concept. Every phase transition is rule-based which considers the user’s profile and the concept importance to make sure that he does well where it is required. Preliminary Experimental Implementations show that with User Profiling we can reduce the amount...

...issues the supervisor is complaining about. The way I can help fix the issues is by assigning each user to a profile type and adjust the user control settings for each user and assign them to a group that the supervisor will have some control over. The first thing I will need is to get a list of each user and what their job is. Second I will need to get a list of what groups you would like to create so we can create them to give each user the access they need for doing their job. The interns that are temporary user will we give them a mandatory profile as a standard user. By doing this we will have a set profile setting that is downloaded each time the user logs on to their account. Also by being a standard user they will have very limited access to change the desktop, and what they can change will not be saved to the server and when they log on again it will be set to the standard settings. When we assign each user to a group that will give them what they need to access to do their job. As for the Team leads we will give them a roaming user profile, which will allow them to be able to log on to any computer and have the same desktop settings and programs on each computer. We will also give them access to each of the groups that they need to complete their jobs. This should give them the access they need. As for the marketing staff we will give them a local user profile with expand rights so they can modify their workstation to their liking. They will only have access...
